That tool won’t do what I need. It’s got to work with sim connect and it seems it mainly does but for some concerns.
Yes, I think so.
I don’t believe there is an ‘ALT’ switch in the Comanche. I think the alternator is kind of automatic and stops charging the battery when it gets full. On reading the A2A forums I understand this was a ‘typo’ according to Scott or Lewis (can’t remember which) which goes back to the original P3d Comanche. Maybe parts of the manual have never been updated ???

The tool that a2a gives us is to configure the cabin controls, light battery, and others that cannot be mapped by default in your peripheral, and that covers all the cabin controls and not using the mouse, so don’t complain about using the mouse for the knobs since you can assign them with the a2a application

I don’t use that program at all, but I do use SPAD, which technical difference aside does a similar job.
For the last to arrive, and want a Tutorial Analysis, in Spanish of the Comanche.
I won’t be using it either. As I explained it will not do what I want so to me it’s worthless.
I agree.
I think it has taken A2A around 3 years so far to code their new Accusim. I can’t see them deviating from this any time in the near future.

I think A2A decided to go it alone from the very early days of MSFS (around 3 years ago?) when the SDK was pretty lacking and MSFS devs seemed to prefer improving scenery etc rather than concentrating on SDK and flight model stuff.
A2A seem to have high standards and at the time the MSFS SDK didn’t meet them. I am guessing that A2A has put quite a lot of time, effort and money into perfecting the new Accusim in the interests of overcoming MSFS weaknesses and improving the flight experience.
All credit to A2A in my opinion for going that extra mile.
Personally, I don’t think that A2A have any moral duty at all to help Asobo improve their flight model unless A2A decide to do so and with that decision made they are adequately financially reimbursed for that assistance. Not withstanding that they are flight sim enthusiasts they are also a profit making business and not to my knowledge a charity based organisation.
Just my opinion

One thing I did notice was that the Comanche immediately starts to roll when I put in only the tiniest amount of throttle. It’s more like stepping on a gas paddle in a car and as if the wheels and the ground have absolutely no friction and the propeller doesn’t have to build up air pressure first.
That’s feels especially strange on grass. In a real C172 on grass I have to push the throttle in half way and wait 1-2 seconds to overcome the inertia and friction.
Can anyone confirm?

I wonder how hard that is to apply to another airframe? From their perspective, they had total access to the plane being simulated. Could they get that level of access to something else?

there is a solution for that - https://htcc.fredemmott.com/ . I use it with Quest PRO - was able to interact almost with everything except fuel tank selectors
I had one weird problem with it last night, and it may have been caused by my tinkering with SPAD, and LVAR’s for other things, though I went nowhere near this specifically.
When testing my binds for the primer, I noticed that the engine wasn’t turning over. I check in maintenance, and it showed the starter in red. So I hit the overhaul button, and it went green, then instantly red again. I did this multiple times, and it didn’t fix it.
I then clicked the overhaul all button, and that didn’t work either.
Neither did a full reset, including Hobbs time.
A restart of the flight didn’t fix it either.
The only thing that did was quitting back to the main menu, then starting the flight, and at that point it was broken but repairing it worked.
I don’t know to be honest.
I seem to recall Scott saying many months ago that the new Accusim would make it a whole lot easier to make new flight sim AC and that some stuff is transferable to the new aircraft. Not sure/can’t recall exactly what he meant but maybe environmental stuff that runs in Accusim making it all the more realistic ??? Maybe some stuff is transferable to different airframes too. Definitely a good and interesting question from you. A post maybe on the A2A forum could get a definitive reply from Scott.
They started off with the comanche because that is Scott’s own AC and as you rightly say they had total access and so this made sense. I think that they are perfectionists (have you seen the amusing video where they attached the aircraft to a vehicle just to get ground audio? Really funny!) and that they will get adequate access to any aircraft they choose to simulate. Maybe they will only simulate AC that they can get good access too?
My own feeling is that this quest for perfection is built into their DNA and that they can’t help themselves but to push the boundaries. In fact, I am expecting their next product to be even better than this Comanche
I was just going over their catalogue of planes, and they have a lot, mainly for P3D, and FSX.
I would have to assume that for those other accu-sim powered planes, they had already collected the data they needed to describe the aerodynamics of that aircraft.
I don’t know how modular their flight model is, but if it expresses the simulation based on the geometry of the airframe, then presumably punching in the right numbers for a different airframe may yield expected results?
For things like audio, it would be sensible to assume they have access to better recording technologies, and techniques, now than they did then, so they might want to take new recordings of those.
I still will get their aircraft. Waiting for
- T-6
- P-40
- Mustang
- Piper Cub
- B17
- L-049
- Spitfire
- C182
- Cherokee
- P-47
- B377
I just saw the pricing for their commercial 182. 
pretty normal for commercial fight schools. you want to earn money with that so a private license wont do

I hope they bring back the Cessna 172R. That would sell so well.

I know some were saying this was a bit too expensive, but when you look over the back catalogue for the Professional versions, I think we got off lightly.

For P3D Professional it was € 77,-, for P3D Academic it was € 41,-
